18 pending office actions • 3 art units • 15 examiners • 0 of 18 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 20 patents granted in the last 365 days
Tandem Diabetes Care Inc. has 20 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters are handled by 15 distinct examiners across 4 distinct art units, indicating that art-unit concentration is greater than examiner concentration.
DIPERT, FORREST BLAKE is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending matters. That examiner warrants coordinated review for recurring issues, while the number of examiners requires separate response planning across the wider portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 7 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (6%) |
| §103 only | 4 (22%) |
| §102 only | 2 (11%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (56%) |
